The Vatican's Top 10 Best Rock Albums of All Time.. and no, Ozzy didn't make the list

[Michie]

Our favorite Vatican newspaper is at it again with another odd article. On Sunday, L'Osservatore Romano published a "semiserious guide" to the ten best rock albums of all time.

"Some songs seem to have been written yesterday…. while others still send shivers down the spine for their illuminating simplicity and musical thrust" the writers of the article said about "Thriller." Of Oasis’ record, L’Osservatore Romano said "the album was never equaled" in part because of the disruptive in-fighting by the Gallagher brothers, the leaders of the group.

The "little handbook of musical resistance" was published in an attempt to offer an alternative to mediocre and cheesy tunes that feature in Italian popular festivals like the 60-year old one of Sanremo, which starts Tuesday in the north-western Italian region of Liguria and is widely-watched on television.

The albums are perfect listening material for anyone who finds himself marooned on a desert island, the Holy See’s newspaper noted.

It's not the Vatican's list, it's the newspaper's list.
